THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
People thought it would be filler, but nope, it animated one of my favorite one-chapter stories!!

The only characters in this show that actually change their clothes for purposes other than cosplay are Kagura, Otae and the Shinsengumi and maybe some others...

The new OP(?) is ok, I liked the previous one better but this one's not bad. IS THAT THE AFRO GUY I SEE IN THERE THOUGH

ARE THEY INTRODUCING HIM THIS EARLY ON

WASN'T HIS ARC RIGHT BEFORE THAT ARC??!!! THEY CANT BE DOING IT THIS EARLY RIGHT

And the second half was decent (liked the first half better) but it was nice to see Hajime-nii again.

THE ED ANIMATION MAKES ME CRY. Judging by the ED they really might be doing that arc soon... NO PLS DONT GO BEYOND THE POINT OF NO RETURN

Screenshots:


Next week is about Kondo. I don't remember much about this bit in the manga.

Nice episode, the second half was hilarious.
The new OPs and EDs are great as well, and I like the hinting towards that arc (haven't read the manga, but I know what arc you guys are referring to).

On a side note, maybe it's just me, but why have the last 2 or so episodes of Gintama (mostly just the first half of this specific ep) looked as though they've been drawn and animated by Toei?

So that's gonna be the new OP? It's not bad but totally for budget saving purposes and the music in the prev one was much better. It at least gives me hope that this isn't the last cour...I think

Lots of derps this ep tho, I guess they're concern about the budget lasting might be 4real. That's why I'm scared about whether this is the last cour or not.

Dat friggin ED THO!!! HYPE!!!

Even tho this was a Shinpachi ep it was quite fun XD

Gin's kimono being a School tracksuit and Kagura's hair clips being a penis sheath was so lol

Poor Gin getting preached for his fashion and why he always has a arm out.
Kagura's "Sorry did u by any chance think it looked cool" with that pitying face was so hilarious. KO!

Kagura looked cute in casual clothes and Shinpachi needs to keep the fashionable outfit.

Lol'd at Gin teaching Kamehameha. The Secret technique naming part was fun. Otae's "Let's just make it ******" with his perverted face was so lol

Dat Kondo penis stretching technique was O_o

The new OP felt like a usual Gintama ending and the ED like the usual GODLIKE Gintama opening. They just saved the best for the end.
I'm hyped as f*** right now

They can always jump to that arc after they introduce the afro, Gintama is just that convenient.

Yep that's what i've been thnking as well. Probably we'll get this cour and another one before 'that' arc starts. Still though, that's only 24ish episodes till we get there :)

Hopefully they'll save their budget throughout these less serious arcs and give us some amazing animation for the serious arcs

Also i'll just say this was one of the best episodes of Gintama's new season. Absolutely hilarious all the way through. Loved when Gintoki was teaching the homeless people his ultimate move and when Shinpachi was wearing his suit with that smug look haha

Has Gintama ever teased us in the OP or ED? as far as I can remember what Gintama shows on the OP and ED happens before changing the OP and ED.

LOVED THE ED ... It is sooo GOOD. Can't wait for the song to come out, and it's bount to reach that arc, and it will be soooo INSANE to see it. Other than that the episode was awesome as usual :D, the Street Fighter references were hilarious. And the KAMEHAMEHA :D ... The bums were really excited.

The ED is too beautiful :D
I really don't think they'll be doing THAT ARC in this cour but the ED is a great teaser to what's coming up and to let us know that they have the budget ready for that, I mean the art is freaking amazing!

There will be greater and more epic OP and ED for THAT ARC. I know it. It's Gintama all right.

Loves the ED, especially the group hugs part. Probably they will animate 'that arc' in the last ep of current cour, and continuing to the next cour since 'that arc' is pretty long. But still, I'm not ready.

Lmao nice episode, loved the fashion part, Shinpachi got style.

New OP was really nice, even tho it didn't hint at anything special, but the ED tho, they showed Gintoki vs Takasugi.

And Oboro, don't forget fucking Oboro.

Good episode... I'm laughing at that street fighter reference. BUT THAT ED! So much foreshadowing... This is not the right time to animate SAA and FSA. They must finish all the arcs before "the big ones".

Pretty funny episode. The Street Fighter references were great. Not that big of a fan of the opening's song compared to the previous one, but the visuals look pretty dope. That ending is hype af though. One of the best endings of the series. Nothing tops Samurai Heart though. <3

I got the feels after watching the ending. I even cried. I think they are hinting at the SAA, even using some manga panels in the ending. I prefer the ending over the opening. But I hope they don't animate it this season. But I do love the art and aniamtion in the opening. It's so colorful but I don't really like the singing.

Pattsuan got all that swag, they even kept his outfit in the opening. He looks awesome and I hope they keep it.

Afro Arc and Oil Rain Chapter are the only things I caught from the opening that they are adapting.

Oh my god, if they really do plan doing that "that arc" so soon, it would need at least around 8-9 episodes or something xd

Lets all hope its all teasing and that its not a desperate attempt for the studo to end the series with a bang.

Then again, we really got trolled with the second movie though lol

I think they have just inverted the OP and the ED for this episode like they do sometimes, the ED suit better for the change of Shinpachi's clothes.

omg that ending though. I love it :O
I haven't read the manga so I don't know what's coming, and I'm really really excited!!! The song and animation are just amazing!
I bet they're going to switch the op en ed when the serious arc comes, just like some other times. I remember the ending "Shura". I was so happy when it suddenly became the opening xD
Looking forward to next week! And the week after next week, and the week after that week... Gintama ftw!

Loved today's ep. Two of my fave chapters!!

That being said, [the vaguest of spoilers] I really don't think leaving material to animate between Shogun arc and what comes next is a good idea. The events flowed naturally as a consequence of one another, a comedic break between them wouldn't really make sense :T

Also the ED is so weird for an ED lol, I was convinced it was actually the OP until I realized that it doesn't do the thing where it introduces all the charas while the earlier segment did that. If the Op is really the OP, it's my favorite one out of the three so far, it's fun and it sets itself apart.

:o not to be bitching but the animation was off a very tiny bit. Not sure if it was because its a Shinpachi based episode or if every bit of effort went to anime op&ed.
I hope Sunrise Bandai Namco Pictures is doing fine in dvd sales/budget.

Thoughts on OP: I like it when Gintama has a rock based theme in serious arcs and pop based in relaxing comedic arcs but this op... the lyrics were not all that good.
Is this where you live?

Great episode and that ED! so damn good.OP was imo really bad tho...visually it's okay-ish but music, sigh.Sadly i have to say this is probably the worst Gintama opening, at least for me.Wish they would bring back bands like DOES, FLiP, monobright or SPYAIR.
Also, reading your guys comments got me worried af, i really hope they won't go to the point where they cannot return in story.To my knowledge there are like +6-7 arcs that need to be animated before entering Afro arc...sigh D:

Imo this is the worst anime opening of Gintama, but damn this ending is too good. The ending second best ending of Gintama after samurai heart :)

As a side note this Gintama episode was as usual funny, but the part that is worrying me is the animation and the budget.
